We owe our community an honest conversation. With everything that's happened lately, we want to talk about where we are, what went wrong, and what we're doing about it.
For the past year, we've been building. IWA, Automata, Dynamic Zero, and open-sourcing our solution. But here's what we got wrong: we built in silence. And when our community raised concerns, we got defensive instead of listening. That's on us.
So today, we want to address some of the things you've been saying, and what we're doing about it.

They exist. Automata is live right now at automata(dot)autoppia(dot)com and it's powered by the web agent built by our top miner on the subnet.
That's the model working as intended: miners compete, the best agent rises, and it gets put to work. Is it perfect though? No. The agent is still improving and there are tasks it struggles with. Building SOTA web agent is genuinely hard โ if it weren't, OpenAI and Anthropic wouldn't be pouring resources into the same problem. But ours is already good enough to power a live product, and it's getting better every week. We'll be showcasing what Automata can do so you can see for yourselves.
We also have 17 dynamic websites running on IWA, miners deploying models through Chutes, and scores improving on the leaderboard.

You were right. 0.75ฯ/day to miners isn't enough to attract the volume of talent needed to push agents further. Our top miner proved the system works โ one miner built an agent good enough to ship in production. Now we need to bring in more miners at that level. We heard this feedback and we took it seriously.

We're not going anywhere. We've significantly restructured our marketing so you'll get clearer and more consistent messaging from now on. 0% burn will accelerate our progress as we attract more quality miners to the subnet.
We're open to feedback. We know we have to earn back your trust and we're asking the community to give us another chance to make things right. We have a cracked team that is fully committed to Bittensor and to execution, and we intend to add value to this network.
We know trust isn't rebuilt with one post. It's rebuilt one kept promise at a time. March 30 is the first. Hold us to it.
